Car on the Paseo Marítimo in Flames – Bang, Smoke and Many Questions

Answer

What should I do if I see a car fire in Palma?

Keep a safe distance and alert emergency services immediately. If it is safe and you know how to use it, a fire extinguisher may help in the first moments, but only if the fire is still small and you are not putting yourself at risk. Do not open a burning bonnet or stand too close to smoke, which can spread quickly and become dangerous.
